Realistic average day rate to aim for cleaning trad

Well we call a piece of glass (when used as a window) a pane. Almost all our windows here are single pane (yes even if double glazed still considered one pane by glazers)

So in short our windows really have just two sides.... inside and outside.

Not seen anything like those fancy tripple pane windows you have there.

 
I set up earlier this year mate. I'm cleaning 14-15 houses a day on my own trad and earning £120-£150 a day. My first tip would be to be confident with your pricing and don't quote in desperation. The work will come so price correctly, I work towards £25 per hour and I'm done work by 2 p.m every day. This leaves time for add ons like gutter cleaning etc. It also leaves room for missed days due to weather so I can always catch up and don't lose money.
Wow did you canvass for all your work or did you buy a round? Either way nice going!

I am in a pretty unique position where I have a wheelie bin business and therefore a large customer base to begin with. I only do 7 days a month on windows to existing wheelie bin customers. Wish I'd done it years ago. I'm now helping set my nephew up on the windows because there's plenty asking for a good reliable windie round my way. I could easily do double what I do now just not enough time so my Nephew will have a decent start.
